After days of sleep and always staying indoors I stepped outside then the rain began to pour The irony, I thought.. I looked up at the sky and yelled “Anything more?!” The raindrops began to hit the pavement What a strange scent, the cold rain on hot cement I already committed to going out I couldn’t go back now But back inside my shelter I went I didn’t have an umbrella or raincoat I wanted to go back on steemit, read articles and upvote Scroll through that one tab on the front page, called promote But I’ve already committed on going out today, I even jotted it down on my “to do” note So I got my car keys, jean jacket and phone I started to drive to some place new, unknown My first instinct was to start driving to visit her Bring flowers and say hi to her gravestone I fought my urge and went towards the coast Radio on low, I thought about what I missed most I parked on a hill overlooking the ocean “Torrey Pines” it said on the signpost I followed a walkway that was paved with stones It was nice to be outdoors on my own I kept wanting to stay indoors and postpone accepting life without her soft skin, gold hoops, french cologne fragile bones Worst part about it is I lost my best friend It's devastating, I'm not going to pretend my world is shattered but they keep telling me, “time will mend”

After The Storm
After days of sleep and always staying indoors I stepped outside then the rain began to pour The irony, I thought.. I looked up at the sky and yelled “Anything more?!” The raindrops began to hit the pavement What a strange scent, the cold rain on hot cement I already committed to going out I couldn’t go back now But back inside my shelter I went I didn’t have an umbrella or raincoat I wanted to go back on steemit, read articles and upvote Scroll through that one tab on the front page, called promote But I’ve already committed on going out today, I even jotted it down on my “to do” note So I got my car keys, jean jacket and phone I started to drive to some place new, unknown My first instinct was to start driving to visit her Bring flowers and say hi to her gravestone I fought my urge and went towards the coast Radio on low, I thought about what I missed most I parked on a hill overlooking the ocean “Torrey Pines” it said on the signpost I followed a walkway that was paved with stones It was nice to be outdoors on my own I kept wanting to stay indoors and postpone accepting life without her soft skin, gold hoops, french cologne fragile bones Worst part about it is I lost my best friend It's devastating, I'm not going to pretend my world is shattered but they keep telling me, “time will mend”
